Bryce Mitchell has never been known for cautious phrasing and on a recent episode of his podcast ArkanSanity he turned his attention toward former President Donald Trump. The MMA star questioned what he described as government misinformation surrounding recent seizures and focused specifically on a widely reported claim involving 20,000 pounds of c*caine which equals roughly 9,070 kilograms (9,070 kg).
“It’s ironic that Donald Trump is the one in 2025 putting out fake news.”
“I personally do not believe they got 20,000 pounds of c*caine.”
Mitchell’s doubts are tied to a recent incident involving Venezuelan fishermen whose boats were d*stroyed by U.S. forces acting under orders attributed to Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. The administration asserted that the vessels were involved in dr*g transport. Mitchell challenged that narrative and questioned whether any proof was ever preserved.
“They destroyed all the evidence.”
“That’s not how you detain a dr*g dealer. You can’t just go up to dr*g dealers and assume they have dr*gs, so let’s just bl*w them up and sink them to the bottom of the ocean.”
The MMA star also pointed to what he described as suspicious timing between the Venezuelan incident and a later announcement promoting one of the largest dr*g arrests in recent years.
“This guy literally committed a war cr*me a week ago and blamed it on dr*gs.”
“Then two weeks later, he says, ‘Hey, I’ve made the largest dr*g b*st in the last decade.'”
Drawing on his background in farming and experience moving heavy equipment Mitchell scrutinized the physical plausibility of the reported load. He explained that 20,000 pounds which equals approximately 9,070 kilograms (9,070 kg) of material could not realistically fit into a compact vehicle such as a Toyota Corolla nor align with images of a small boat allegedly traveling at high speed.
Mitchell’s podcast has become increasingly political, with the star using his platform to question government narratives and advocate for what he sees as constitutional principles. While his views may be controversial, they represent a growing distrust among some Americans of official government statements, regardless of which administration is in power.
